Bro the way the media is hyping this dude is insane.


Coaching matters in the NBA but it's not that important.
There's no way to overhype a coach who's won 2 straight natties with all tourney wins being by 10+ points breh. He may not have a NBA type of coaching style, but he deseves all the hype he may be getting from whoever

I think breh wants the challenge more than he wants the Lakers specifically. Dude is insatiable in terms of dropping his nuts on the basketball world, pause. He'd love to conquer the NBA

What I'm sure is nagging him is that even if he eventually wants the Knicks job like as been reported, there's not going to be many other backup options as alluring as the Lakers. Maybe Philly because of NE + Big East proximity + proximity to NJ. Maybe Boston for similar reasons. That's basically it.

I don't buy the angle that he's been at the top of the search since the beginning for one minute, doesn't add up at all with the way Hurley has been moving and I don't see why it would take this long since Ham's firing to offer him and bring him on site to LA. Seems like Woj is putting extra on it because the Hurley fam and Woj have a relationship.

I think he's leaving. If he's was staying he would've just declined the offer. It sounds like he's working with his PR people, how to break the news he's leaving.
I think what is happening is he/his agent is getting his deal ripped up and has been working on a new UConn extension. If he likes it($$$$$)I think he stays. If they can’t come to terms he takes the LA job

This but it probably is multiple reasons… the reaction to JJ by the media/fans, probably some reservations about him from within the organization, and more importantly he probably wants $$ and the Lakers aren’t gonna give him a bag so trying to pivot once they heard he’d be slightly interested

I have a hard time believing that Jeanie would give a coach 100 million but who knows

it won’t be anywhere near what the Lakers offered

Sounds like he has to try and see if his wife is cool with living in Los Angeles

Which makes no sense at all who the fukk wouldn’t want to live in Los Angeles and be in 76 degree weather every day :mjlol:

White peoples prefer hell holes bruh. The worst it is the more they love it lol. fukking Connecticut over LA. :mjlol:
